Darktrace

Darktrace is a world class cyber security technology company that prevents businesses from being hacked from within. The technology was developed by Cambridge University mathematicians and is based on the principle that enterprise companies are always at risk of being hacked. The technology uses artificial intelligence and was inspired by the concept of the human immune system. Darktrace enables networks to develop a sense of 'self' just like humans so that they can detect anomalies or viruses that are prone to mutate and spread quickly. There is no competitor in this space and Darktrace are leading the way in the field of artificial intelligence and cyber security.
